erence to Bartow at the editorial
helm of the Statcsiuan.
Thk Representative ticket announ-
ced from Seguin is Combs and Jolly.
It is a good and acceptable one.
Thc Houston convention was quite
harmonious. Nearly all the candi-
dates were nominated by acclama-
tion. Since the Houston convention the
News and Statesman have in a
square manly way declared their
adherence to the ticket there nomina-
ted and repudiate all idea of an inde-
pendent movement
Oct. Oba.it thinks that Blaine's
letter ia "a document iu which all
re-publican should take a great deal
of pride." It may be remembered that
Gen. Grant thought the Grunt and
Ward eon tract glJn invcfcliufutM.
We publish tlii week the platform
adoptl at HouM.m with some com-
ment hj the Anctin StattTUian.
The platform ia a much more unw-
bU ooe than that adopted at Fort
Worth.
U. S. Maball Tacr n&dt-rtook

Tmru HouiTOJf tho youngest son
of tho hero of San Jacinto was the
ilia "Free Onus" men in
the Houston convention and attrac
ted considerable attention. He seems
to be likely to f rove "a chip of the
old block" and to make a conapicu
ous mark in Texas.
Viu. D. OALLAOBEa the veteran
poet and literary pioneer of the Ohio
vallev. still lives at the advanced age
of 70. The Courior Journal of Just
week contains a long patriotic poem
by him addressed to the New South
which breathes his wonted fires.
The Galveston News made its
objections to Ireland in the legitmate
lino of fact and argument. now mat
he ia nominated it wields the same
weanona in his behalf. In spite of
the senseless clamor raised against it
the News has no reason to be ashamed
of ite course.
The fair common sense view advan
ced in our editorial in the Fek
Prkk of week before last respecting
Gov. Ireland and Lib candidacy
hannilr struck the key-note of politi
cal harmony at Houston and which
is nrevailinff throughout the State
As we predicted this being a presi
dential year Wash Jones nor no
other man would be fool enough to
contest Irelands electionif nominated.
This we believe is now conceded on
all hands.
Tue letters of acceptance of Cleve
land and Hendricks appear on our
first page. They are in fine contrast
in all respects with the long-winded
dissertations of Blaine Logon and
Butler. We remember that CoL
Benton charged Stephen A. Douglas
with having injected a stump speech
in the belly of his Kansas-Nebraska
bill. This is just what Blaine Logan
and Butler have done. An accept
ance of the platform and declaration
of leading principles is all that is
proper in such letters.
Some eight or ten years since Mr.
Cleveland sinned as men and women
often sin. He however never shrank
from the consequences but accepted
them as justin a manly and honorable
way. He has since been elected Mayor
of the city of Rochesterand later by an
unprecedented majority Governor of
the great State of New York and not
word was said of this sin of his
private life and of a former day.
But now since hiB nomination for
the Presidency it is rakod up by the
malice of some disappointed place-
seeker eagerly clutchod by the Re
publican politicans and sought to be
used for his defeat Surely no fair-
minded person will say that such an
issue should ever have been made at
this time against a man who has been
conspiciously able end faithful in
tho discharge of all his public duties.
We have too much faith in the sense
of justice and fair play of the Anieri
can people not to believe that so far
from damaging his election it will
react in his favor.

State to-day.
Tho Exposition building is being
hurried to completion by five hundred
men. Brush hammer and trowel are
plied night and day. The building
is a perfect palace and one of tho
architectural wonders of the age.
Every foot of spaco in tho vast build-
ing has been taken up and the dis
play of arts goods and manufactures
will bo the grandest and most bril-
liant ever witnessed in the United
States. Tho Grand exposition opens
next week.
The murders and suicides in this
city during the last ten days accord
ing to the police reports average
two per day. It is needless to detail
the sickening circumstances of each
particular cese. It would be both
a
monotonous and disgusting. In
nearly every case liquor was the
direct cause. Speaking of the result
of excessive drinking let us recall
some fe cases that have attracted
the attention of your correspondent
of late.
In walking out early this morning
I met an old looking gentleman
almost iranipiHh in appearance but
still bearing traces of refinement and
the association of better dnva. He
leaned heavily on a walking stick
and seemed lejtteJ and brokt ii
hearted. It van Mr. Theodore La
Veil!e. This iinfortuuate gentleman
wan a fclwrt time ago proprietor of
the far famed Southern Hotel the
finest and largest hotel in the world
How it was he Wt hi great fortune
I cannot tell some bay Le drack a

unaccountable? coincidence lot all

Aeirew I. OIVy as cnp"
yean ago) clerk of the criminal court
and received a princely salary.
Andrew was a power then he could
cause the Legislature to pass an act
to raise his salary whenever at
wan tod. Ha Lad immense influence
a host of admirora and followers.
Always carried a large roll of money
and treated the boys like a true
prince. But whiskey will tell. His
accounts trot tanffled. His securities
got frightened investigation develop
ed a shortage of monoy tena or thous-
ands. He was removed. He waa
indicted. The death of hia chief
deputy saved him from conviction
and to-day he walks the streets a
wreck and a complete outcast None
so low as to do him reverence yet
a more perfect gentleman never lived
good hearted and really honest His
intentions were good but a few
hypocrites and political pick-pockets
first seduced him into convival habits
and then robbod him and ruined him
before he could awake to the realiza-
tion of hiB terrible situation.
Your readers remember my account
of the fate of Fred Thornton.clerk of
our circuit courts. Fred was brilli
ant young man and his straightfor
ward disposition and elegant person
and manners made him a shining
mark for that horde of thieves who
are known as ward politicians in large
cities. Thornton was thrown out
disgraced and indicted but escaped
conviction in the hospitality of a
timely grave. I shall drink myself
to death he said before next term of
court and he kept his word.
Your correspondent had occasion;
to enter a rather stylish saloon on
Pine street some time ago and whilst
consulting with the proprietor about
his testimony in a criminal case a
man stepped up from behind some
lace curtains. His eyes protruded
from his head and were red as blood.
His clothes must have been given to
him he trembled from head to foot.
Your correspondent could not recog
nize him and ordering the barkeeper
to fill a glass of soda asked the poor
fellow politely if he would join and
with trembling hand he drank off a
glass full of whiskey. It your cor
respondent did wrong he begs to
suggest iu mitigation the two follow
ing facts : It did the poor fellow
good for the time being and it made
him believe that he had at least one
friend in the world. Well this poor
man was Johnny Phelan who was
once acting Secretary of State and
at various times filled the highest
and most responsible positions in
the city and State Governments.
His name and reputation were with-
out a blemish. A few Sundays ago
whilst readinor tho naper I noticed
0
his death at a private hospital and
the attendant in his room told your
correspondent that he died a chris
tian's death repenting bitterly of
his life and wishing to die.
Mr. Frank Bliss.an old and respec
ted merchant of St. Louiscommitted
suicide yesterday by taking a overdose
of morphine. Your correspondent
saw Mr. Bliss a few moments before
h fatal deed. He seemed in great
destress ; he asked for a small sum
of money ; the modes t sum was promp
tly given him. " Some one present
suggested to arrest him and send
him to the hospital. A few moments
afterwards an ambulance dashed
down the street toward the dispen
sary. It was Mr. uns8 tuoy were
convoying. He died at 5 P. M.
He wusonce prosperous aud respecta
ble. He became ruined by drinking.
He leaves a wife and five children.
And so it is with hundreds of our
citizens which proves beyond a
shadow of doubt that of all the
curses and afflictions of this world
the curse of drink is the mightiest of
them all. Carl Smythe.

Just now political gossips are
reveling in the filth furnished by cer-
tain stories about the private life of
candidates or deploring the low
state of political morals that will per
mit the obscuration of grave national
issues by private scandals. The
stories may le true or false; they
are not matters for public discussion.
Mr. Blaine no doubt now deplores
most bitterly the zeal of his desperate
supporters in tmng to make political
capital out of a distorted episode in
the private life of his opitoncut
WIku the story first came out here.
many remarked that Mr. Blaine would
bo worsted in that species of warfare.
The rlmnrrs upon which he has now
brought suit whether true or false.

The Republican office-holders here
are contributing very stingily to the
campaign fund. It is believed they
are utterly without pressure from
the Executive and on the other hand
they are very closely watched by the
Civil service detectives. It would

of the grand old party of moral
ideas. Died from want of soap
but it might be true in more senses
than one.
Democratic Platform Adopted at Hous
ton.
1. We the democrats of Texas in
convention assembled cordially en-
dorse the principles announced in
the platform adopted by tne national
convention of the democratic party
in the city of Chicago in July last
and we hail with satisfaction the
nomination of Governor Grover
Cleveland of New York and Thomas
A. Hendricks of Indiana for presid-
ent and vice-prsident of the United
States and we pledge our earnest
and enthusiastic support to said
nominees.
2. We declare that the people are
the scource of all political power ;
that the democratic party is a party
of the people and that it has with
unfailing faith always adhered to
the doctrine that the government was
instituted among men by their con
sent for mutual protection and we
point with pride to the grand strides
of our common weaitn under its toster
inc care and protection.
3. We declare that a free ballot
and a fair count are necessary to the
existence of free government among
men and the democratic party pledges
itself that this right shall remain in
violate.
4. We believe an efficient system
of common free schools both for the
white and colored races is essential
to the preservation of the liberties of
the people and that our public insti-
tutions of learning should be fostered
by judicious legislative enactment
and to this end we favor the raising
of revenue for these purposes by such
a disposition of the land set apart for
these objects under sucn limitations
as may best subserve these ends so
that taxation for sufch purposes may
be reduced to the lowest possible
limit.
5. We declare that the free school
and asylum lands are separated from
the public domain and are by law u
sacred trust in the custody of the
legislature to be held and managed
in the best interests of the respective
funds to which they have been dedi-
cated and we hold it to be the highest
duty of the representatives of the
people to see to it that that trust
may not be sacrificed to the greed of
any class.
6. We believe that the schools
and general interests of the state will
be best subserved by the leasing of
said lands until such time as they
may be purchased by actual settlers
at a reasonable price fixed by law
without competition and in such a
manner as not to retard the develop-
ment and prosperity of the frontier.
7. We are opposed to the enact-
ment of a herd law.
8. We believe that the existing
laws of our state for the protection
of mechanics and laborers by hen
should be more comprehensive and
efficient to the end that the real
laborer may be thoroughly protected.
9. We declare that the legislature
of our state should limit the amount
of real estate owned or held by cor-
porations in this state and that an
incorporation law should be so amend-
ed as to prevent rather than encour-
age landed and other mocopoliea.
10. We declare that the proper
and immediate regulation of the
j transportation of freight by common
1 carriers is a matter of great concern

The Platform.
SMla iui.
The democratic platform adopted
at Houstan the full text of which ap-
pears in another column reads
pretty well and if state officers and
legislators live up to its doctrines
and enforce it propositions Texas
..Hi i wll Dn of the first duties
of democrats is to give earnest ad
hesion to the federal nominees xaa
vote of Texas will beyond all doubt
be given to Cleveland and Hendricks
i.i.f h moral nower of that vote
should be felt in huge proportions.
Tumi ia raniillv Point? to the front
in federal affairs and when its weight
is thrown into the scale it stiouia do
fnH in nil ita lince nronortions.
Therefore it was wise for a platform
to be shaped with a declaration in its
first section expressing devotion to the
nnnninloa anA nnminntions Intel V Set
forth and presented at Chicago. Sec-
tion two of the platform is somewhat
a . aWntAndiim stvle. and vet it
presents the fundamental principle
underlying tne structure oi u-uu uomu-
cracy. Often it is that we find even
democrats in office violating the fixed
principles of their party and it ia af-
ter all eminently proper under cir-
cumstances existing in Texas to thus
call attention to the fact that govern
ment is a creation for tne people not
a machine for the personal agrandise-
mnnt of men. The section relating
to a ' free ballot and a fair count"
might as well have been left out.
Snnli declarations were never known
in platforms until the republican
party placed a lie m its luiminaiea
principles to gloss over the truth of
hiafsirv. Of course the democracy of
Texas is in favor of free schools and
liberal free education llie world
bnnni fViin wifhni.t. tlifi declaration
auunn hhi
in section four of the platform. Here
we have been since tne organization
of the republic of Texas fostering
free education. No state in the
union no country on the face of the
globe has made so bounteous a provis-
ion for free education as Texas and
protection of educational funds will
soon place tne state in a condition to
catniilish and maintain a svstem of
nubhe education second to none
among civilized peoples. Section five
touches upon a most serious ques-
tion a necessarv seauence to all the
wise provisions made in the past for
maintaining an educational system.
Unless the lands be utilized so as to
derive from them the fullest returns
for the purposes contemplated govern
ment ceases to be competent dis-
resrard in crone of tne most sacred oi
all public rights. The democracy
must come squarely up to tne issue ;
the children of the state must have
the benefit of that which has been
provided for them ; it must not be
given to favored classes. Free grass
nnA free timber and free water are
against the spirit of bounteous be
quests. In the disposal of all lands
preference snould be given to actual
settlers and no man should be denied
the opportunity of obtain a home in
Texas. Opposition to a nerd law is
correct unless the declaration mean
that the state will not protect the
lands of individuals as well as those
of the state. All individuals have
acquired title to lands from the state
and the government should warrant
and defend all rights acquired by the
purchasers. A better law for the
protection of labor may be necessary
but in the section referring to such
protection there is the least tinge of
claptrap. Legislation in behalf of
restricting the rights of corporations
in acquiriug real estate is a wise
siinrcTPKt.ioi.. and a law should be
"OO '
passed for the accomplishment of
sucn end. ction ten treaas
upon dangerous ground. The
objection to laws of the sort referred
to is that abuses grow up nnder its
operation and the growth of the
state demands for a time liberal
treatment of carriers. Evils ought
to be corrected but the wisest dis-
crimination should be exercised in
doing 60 for in any wild attempt to
correct them great damage may be
done the state. The last section
(eleven) of the platform is nothing
more than the customary political
doxology sung on all such occasions
but it is an excellent ode to sin:? and
a fine tune to go by.
